Wordpress K2 Scout Style

I have decided to release the [URL="http://getk2.com/"]K2[/URL] style for Wordpress, as previously used on my District's website.

This is not a complete Wordpress theme, you need to download [URL="http://getk2.com/"]K2[/URL] first.

[B]Installing
[/B][LIST=1][*][URL="http://getk2.com/"]Download and install K2[/URL], uploading the files into wp-content/themes as usual[*][URL="hhttp://matthewhiggins.org.uk/2009/10/wordpress-theme/archive/"]Download this style[/URL], unzip it, and upload the 'Scouting' folder to wp-content/themes/k2/styles/[*]In K2 Options, choose 'Scouting' from the list of 'Style'[*]That should be it, visit your site to see the style in action[/LIST]

This is all in one CSS file and can be used without any modifications to code. There are images included, however it works fine without them.

I strongly recommend;
[LIST][*]Inserting the Scout Association logo, in the normal colours, as an HTML-based widget at the top of the sidebar[*]Using a photograph as the 'custom header image', which you can set from within the K2 configuration. If you don't, it appears in the corporate purple with the title in white.[/LIST]

This will work with any number of columns set in K2 Options, and with all of the options K2 includes, including AJAX commenting, and advanced navigation.

[B]You can download the style from [URL="http://matthewhiggins.org.uk/2009/10/wordpress-theme/archive/"]matthewhiggins.org.uk/2009/10/wordpress-theme/archive/[/URL], and K2 from [URL="http://getk2.com/"]getk2.com[/URL][/B]

I will let someone else confirm this, but I think safe mode needs to be left alone for security reasons.

May I suggest a different gallery plugin?
Wordpress has support for galleries built in, so they are embedded as parts of posts or pages. This, combined with [URL="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cleaner-gallery/"]Cleaner Gallery[/URL] to make it look nicer is, in my opinion, all you need!

sidebar

I know this is going to sound really dum. But how does he get all of the sidebar to works. It's all nice and neet, but when i go to add a widget to the sidebar it wipes everything. Is there a special plugin that i should have?

[QUOTE=matt2501;113046]I'm not sure about your specific case, however I would recommend that you install the [URL="http://kaytwo.googlecode.com/files/k2-sbm.zip"]K2 Sidebar Manager Plugin[/URL].
